JQuery - Android - Keyup event not working in backspace in Chrome

Question

I am wondering why the backspace / delete button does not detect the keyup event in jQuery.

I find this odd because it is useful and needs to be supported. Are there any alternatives to this?

This only happens on Android - Chrome.

Greetings

You can fix this by adding an event listener to the input.

var inputBox = document.getElementById('inputId');

inputBox.addEventListener(‘input’, function() {
    exampleFunc();
}, false);
